WASHINGTON (CNS) -- Cable's Discovery Times Channel will premiere "Keeping the Faith: Becoming a Priest in Today's Catholic Church" on Tuesday, Feb. 1, 10-11 p.m. EST. The program examines the motivations of men entering the seminary despite the clergy sexual abuse scandal the church has faced. "Keeping the Faith" goes inside Mount St. Mary's Seminary of the West in Cincinnati. The special will try to show what goes into the formation of a priest, and seminary students talk candidly of how they arrived at their decision to heed a call to a priestly vocation, why they feel they have been summoned and the ways in which their faith fulfills and sustains them.
